Bio

Brooke Einbender, known as Mindbender, is gaining recognition as a visionary voice in immersive art, bending the minds of her audience through transformative installations that serve as kaleidoscopic portals into otherworldly dimensions. Her multidisciplinary work explores the intersection of art, nature, and technology through large-scale public installations.

Her work centers on portals—sculptural thresholds that invite viewers to step beyond the familiar and experience new states of perception. Einbender fuses creativity and innovation to transform public space into sensory-rich environments.

A graduate of Wake Forest University and a Presidential Scholar in the Visual Arts, she has exhibited nationally and completed numerous public art commissions. Her work has been featured during Art Basel Miami, and she has spoken on over 15 panels about innovation in contemporary art. She has collaborated with hospitality brands such as Arlo Hotels and Auberge Resorts, pioneering immersive elevator art across seven properties.

Her acclaimed public art series, The Unknown Zone, transforms reclaimed doors into portals. In 2024, she debuted her kaleidoscopic sculpture, Gaiascope, at Canal Convergence, with a major installation planned for San Jose in 2026, coinciding with the FIFA World Cup.

Einbender brings deep expertise in site-specific public art, successful collaborations with cities and engineers, and a growing legacy of impactful, widely recognized work that invites people to slow down, look inward, and reconnect with the mystery of the world around them.
